Events in Rochdale - Cabaret

Celebrity comic Jimmy Cricket, famed for his catchphrase 'And There's More' and of course his hilarious 'Letter's From Mammy' has enjoyed huge success on stage, TV and Radio and is still in huge demand at home and abroad.

This very special evening will be unique in many ways. Instead of taking a distant theatre seat, the setting will be far more intimate! Why? Because tickets are exclusively limited to just 40; therefore you will be guaranteed what would otherwise be better than front-row seats at a theatre!

And ... there's more:

Arrive for 7.30pm (seats will be allocated as you arrival) Tickets must be purchased in advance.

Bring a bottle - The HDHC is not licensed to sell or serve alcohol. However, on this special evening you are permitted to bring and serve your own! (Alternatively soft drinks and speciality teas and coffees will be available).

Live music (Piano / Guitar & Vocals from our one and only (multiple gold & platinum disc awardee) Phil Barrett (HDHC Trustee).

High Tea - Indulge from a superb selection of freshly cut tea sandwiches and luxury cakes presented on a 3 tier cake stand.

The legendary Jimmy Cricket - In addition to Jimmy's unique brand of comedy, the audience will be invited to ask Jimmy Cricket questions!

All proceeds will go towards the running costs of the centre.

Tickets available NOW for a very special show: 'High Tea with Jimmy Cricket'.

One of the UK's leading Spirit Mediums returns to Heywood Civic after his very successful show last year.

"There is no death, just life beyond this"

"As a medium it is my purpose to show beyond all doubt that the human soul continues to live after physical death and that the separation we feel when a loved one dies is only temporary.

The character and personality that made your loved ones who they were in life is still very much alive and well in the world of spirit. One day when we make this inevitable journey ourselves, they will be there to greet you." David Holt

Join David for an evening with a difference as he passes on messages from the other side and delivers mind blowing evidence of life after death.
